This is not really a review, more like my thoughts on the movie after I watched it. Of course there will be some spoilers, so don't read if you don't want to have surprises


As you may know, it happens that I watch a movie because of its plot, but most likely I choose my movies after who is acting in it, and this time I watched it mainly because of Siwon (♥), even though I also like Andy Lau and Fan Bing Bing. 

Go here to read about the plot.

Not my kind of movie actually, I don't like war and politics in ancient China, but I thought I should give it a try, and the movie started promising, it kind of built up your expectations, that something great will happen, big battles, you'll get to know the characters and see their development (being stronger and wiser), final highlights of the film and so on. Andy Lau's character, Gak Lei (Cantonese pronunciation), was a bit of a weirdo; he is good at war strategy, but yet he is a rookie on it (huh?), that wasn't too convincing. You don't get to know a lot either about his background, I wanted the movie to unfold more of the facts of who he was and where he come from (why the Mozis didn't want to send someone and why he wanted to come).

Fan Bing Bing was meaningless to the story and how are you supposed to like Siwon's character? )

I didn't hate the movie even though they killed Siwon; it was enjoyable at times and I haven't been watching Andy Lau act for a long long time, and I think the filming was good, wellmade, different from other kung fu and battle movies, more realistic and not trying to beautify violence, battles or war... Still, I regret a little buying it, because it's not something I will look at and think "that was certainly a nice movie, let's watch it again".

I'm so proud of him. ♥

Kame's got the 15th Nikkan Sports Grandprix Best Actor Award for his role as Bemu in Youkai Ningen Bemu. Now this is something to celebrate and interview him for not asking a lot of irrelavant questions about Jin's marriage >.<.



"The Drama Grand Prix had opened voting to Nikkan Sports readers at the end of March, asking them to pick their best choice of actors in dramas aired between April 2011 to March 2012. It has been reported people had liked the way Kamenashi put a lot of effort into making the drama, throwing out his popstar image to play his role.

The drama series was a live action adaptation of the Yokai Bem anime series from the 1960s, and there were a lot of negative comments from fans of the original series about whether a Johnny’s pop star could become a sad monster wanting to become human but unable to.

“Those ‘it’ll be impossible’ comments actually motivated me,” Kamenashi said."

Read the article here.



Yasashii is the word I would use to describe Bemu. I love all the drama characters of Kame and the way he's portraying them, I can't choose, but Bemu I really wanted to hug and tell him all is going to be fine and make him less sad...

Good job, Kame-chan! o(^_^)o

... and a new ichiban idol?

Lately I've been waiting for some news about Kame-chan, It's not that nothing's happening, since it looks like Kame really been busy with a lot of work. But Going!Sport and Shounen Club and not even the new Panasonic make my heart thrill. T_T

I need some new music performances (isn't there a single coming soon?) or most of all, a new drama... but I guess I will have to wait...

So in the meantime I'm following someone else. XDDD~



Found him in Taiwan and followed him back to Korea: Choi Siwon. I'm watching through his dramas at the moment and I also found a lot of clips of Super Juniors at Youtube. I have to say, it's a bit refreshing to leave Japan and visit Korea from time to time. So far I've watched Skip Beat, Oh! My Lady, The Legend of Hyang Dan and right now I'm working my way through Poseidon. Of course it's a bit frustrating with the language, since I don't understand a thing they're saying (and I don't really want to start to learn another language, especially not Korean which to me seems to be really difficult.... although I'm curious of how the basics work). Luckily, there are such things like subtitles in this world. ^^v


So, not abandoning Kame, but taking a small break, hehe.... )

...where they come from just by looking at their style?

Who is Chinese? Who is Japanese and who is Korean? I think there is a difference in hair styles, face features and clothes. I've picked out 15 pictures of Asian male idols. See if you know who they are or where they're from. HERE.




Or you can also see this post as a picspam and go here right away for the answers. ^^; )

It's quite a catchy song, I'm starting to like it. But, they totally lost me in the lyrics (not only because I don't understand Japanese enough, but their main phrase... what is it supposed to mean "I GOTTA LOCK ON GIRL"?? Lock on, eh... what? O.o

I guess my English isn't good enough either to understand. T_T


Anyway, that said, it doesn't stop me drooling over the little turtle, hehe... ♥



I need to order my own copy of the album! ^^;

Yesterday I read about the "rumours" and I was soooooooo sure it was just a rumour. I mean, you can't believe everything in the news - and this sounded a lot like those crazy PR-rumours.

Then I met my Japanese friend today and she said that when she read about it (or watched the news) it says Akanishi and Kuroki are already married. I was like... what? 



I don't know why I'm so shocked. But it's like, from nothing... to marriage?! Well, since I'm not too up-to-date with Jin news obviously (even though I thought I was), I didn't even know they dated... so yeah, kind of shocked.

But since it's Jin, it shouldn't surprise me, I mean, he is different from other Johnnies, doing things his own ways. Still, they're so young... but they look good together - handsome guy and pretty girl. Best wishes for them. ^^

This cracks me up...


... already so official. T_T;

I guess no more fanfics from now on. Damn, I have to drop my fic with Toda/Jin-pairing. >.< I guess Erika pairs better with Pi anyway. XDDD. In my future fics (if there will be any) Jin will be a married man. With a certain someone. O.o
